No i dont sorry,its just ive never had it with any of my pregnancys so its never been something i needed to know hope someone can help you though

Try some saltine crackers for nausea.
I also had a baby at 17, and like you, I had some help from my parents in the beginning. My husband was in the service overseas, and while he was gone, I lived with my parents, finished school, and worked nights. It was not easy, but it was worth it and I would not have traded that child for anything. He will be 39 in July, married, with a son of his own now. One thing I CAN say... I did from time to time think back and wish that I had gotten the chance to live a little bit more as a teenager. Not to go to bars or things of that nature, but the freedom that a teenager has is something that once you become a parent, you will never have again. Even when they grow up and move away, they will always be your babies and you will always worry and be helping them. You raised children all your life, so I am surprised you didn't want a break for at least a few years before starting a family.
Well anyway.. what's done is done, my advice to you now is to take the next few months to really enjoy your freedom, and then soon we'll all be pulling for you to have a healthy, happy baby, and a very bright future for all three of you! God bless!

I kinda thought about taking a break, but It didnt seem right. I wasnt used to being able to goof off, and party. I tried to hang out with friends, and it really did not seem like my thing. My friends were so used to just seeing me in school, knowing I couldnt hangout, that spending all the extra time with them, just felt wierd. I know it will not be the same as babysitting, but atleast I have a little experience under my belt. Ive dealt with alot of late nights awake, and its really no fun, but Ive grown used to it. And I wouldnt trade any of it for the world. And thank you so much for the encouragement.

You might want to keep some crackers near your bed so when you wake in the morning you can eat a couple of crackers before getting out of bed. It should put something light but not sickening in your stomach and hopefully take away some of the sickness.

I HAD BAD MORNING SICKNESS ... I ATE EVERY COUPLE OF HOURS JUST SMALL MEALS. STAY AWAY FROM MILK PRODUCTS AND KEEP ACTIVE.

well, i eat tons of yogurt, but I will try the cracker thing. I had sickness really bad in the morning yesterday. Havent actually gotten sick yet, but I was definitly nauseous. Can it eventually go away? The sickness

yes most of the time it goes away after the first trimester when your pregnancy hormones level off and the placenta takes over,its the high hormones that are making you sick hope you feel better soon

Yes it will go away like Darkdesire says. Mine went away after the third or fourth month. Once that stops the cravings will start. I craved milk and spagetti and meatsauce during my entire first pregnancy. Afterwards I had IBS and lactaid intolerant. My son was born with horrible milk allergies. Even though my stomach was very small the doctor told me to stop drinking so much milk because he would be too big. Well, the doc was wrong because he was only 5 lbs. 9 oz. when he was born. Yogurt is very healthy but probably doesn't help with the nausea right now. I would recommend eating a variety of healthy foods and try staying away from too many sweets. Of course, no alcohol or smoking which I'm sure you already know. Good luck and keep us posted on your pregnancy. We're also here to answer any questions you may have. I think you're going to be a great mom!

MORNING SICKNESS NORMALLY DISSAPATES AROUND THE 12TH WEEK OF PREGNANCY. AVOID YOGHURT FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS AS THE BACTERIA IN IT CONTRIBUTES TO MORNING SICKNESS. EVEN IF YOU JUST EAT A PIECE OF TOAST EVERY COUPLE OF HOURS. THE TRICK IS TO EAT SOMETHING SMALL JUST BEFORE YOU GET HUNGRY. I KNOW SOME DAY'S I WOULD FEEL LIKE IT WASN'T WORTH BEING PREGNANT CAUSE I GOT SO SICK. BUT LABOUR IS STILL TO COME SO I THINK ITS YOUR BODY PREPARING YOURSELF FOR INDURANCE AND TOLERANCE. HARD ROAD AHEAD GIRL! GOOD LUCK.

Yeah, sometimes I feel like I have to force myself to eat because I havent been feeling hungry or even up to eating. I will stay away from the yogurt, Ive been eating mandarin oranges because they are light, and I love them. And grapes, and peaches too. The toast seems to help alot. Why should I avoid sweets? Ive heard of things like diabetes and stuff.

and no way am I going to smoke or drink, my boyfriend smokes and I dont let him near me with a cigarette. =]

Im 17 and me and my boyfriend are trying to have a baby together i know what you are going through i might be pregnant right now but im not sure right now...pm?

hey i totally respect your idea in having a baby its your choice! who cares what all these people say, you can still have fun with a baby

Just a quick note to those rude people who have posted!!!!
i had a unplanned pregnancy at 17 whilst on the contreceptive pill and gave birth to a beautiful baby girl now aged 5.
I cant believe you are saying that she shouldn't plan a baby if she feels ready for a baby and is prepared and mature enough to bring a child into this world who are we to say different. Its her life and she will go ahead with it regardless of your opinions!
My daughter is very well brought up and is a bright, polite and well behaved young girl. I have a good job and her dad now my husband has a well paid job too... but we didnt at the time (like a say unplanned!) Im sure if she is planning a baby she would of thought of the effects if will have on her life and wether or not its the right thing to do for her and the baby.
Iam now planning on my second child and people may have their opinions on that on here as i will be 23 with 2 children but that is what i want and i know i am capable. Yes you may think she should live her life first but life doesnt end after children they are a large part peoples life and my life couldnt have been better!!
She doesn't want your opinions she wants your advice.

This post is really old,And im sure she will be a great mother to her child,However it is not sensible to plan for a baby whilst your still in school surely you must see this??????

You mention not worrying about rent because you live with your boyfriend's mother... is that something you want to do for the next 18 years? Truly? I totally understand the urge to have a baby at a young age, but what harm can there be in waiting another year? Or two? Or five? You have so much time.

Yes, many people have kids in their teens and they make it work. But you'll be giving yourself and your baby (or babies) a MUCH better life if you get your degree, get a steady job, save up as much money as you can, and have some more life experiences - no, not going out to party every weekend, but maybe travel a bit, learn a new language or craft... explore your own potential so that when you do have a baby you can offer him or her a wider world than you could right now.

At the very least, PLEASE look around at different 'preparing for baby' forums before you try to conceive. Take a look at the lists of things that you need just for the first few months, and how much they might cost you. Find out how expensive it is to have prenatal visits and give birth at a hospital (my OB charges $5K just for her presence at the birth, and the hospital stay is in the $10-20K range. So make sure you have good insurance, too!) Calculate how much doctor's visits for your child will be throughout his or her life. These are not things you want to skip to save money. And to give your child a full life, you're probably going to want to spend on trips to the zoo, educational toys, quality food, maybe music lessons or sports team dues. Saving for your own retirement so your kids don't have to support you in old age. And this is if your baby is HEALTHY. What if he or she gets sick?

These are the things that I think about. I don't want to give my child the bare minimum, I want to give him or her as many opportunities as I can, and I'm sure you do too. For me that meant waiting until I was old enough that I really knew what opportunities were out there, and had the resources to provide them. Frankly, I'm 27, I have an excellent education, my husband and I have steady jobs and great insurance, and I'm STILL scared that we're not ready for this baby... though it's too late now! I know the biological urge to have a baby is so strong, but in this world it takes more time to really be ready. Please make sure you've done all your research before making such a life-changing decision.

Ah, I see I missed a page of replies or two. Nevermind. Good luck.

heyy, I'm 18 and kinda feel the same way as you. Me and my boyfriend are in a great relationship, I know I will be with him for the rest of my life. I also know that once I am pregnant, at so young, my parents will not support me, but they will help me and be behind me. Just make sure you have someone there to help you whoever it is, because it is not an esay job. There's a reason women cannot get pregnant without sperm :)just make sure you are ready emotionally and finalcially, have a plan. If it is what you want it will not "ruin" your life like many people say. Good luck hope all is going well. and remember just make sure you have at least one person there to help you, it will be a relief

Your not Immature, you know what you want and your getting it. im pretty much going through the same thing and people call me crazy also... i hope you get what you want

mmm well i have the same problem,
im 17, just turned it yesterday..
i havent had a childhood either. my whole life my parents have fought over me. put each other down. i have lived without money, without power for a few months, had to always go to the food bank and worried about bills since i can renember. and alot more..
what i cant explain though is this urge to have a baby.
i want one so bad, ive tried before, subconciously in my mind, i told my boyfriend not to use a condom so we didnt, and i was pregnant, but didnt realize untill i had a miscarriage. now i want one more then ever.
its all i can ever think of. i cant help it. were planning to try concieve so i have one just after i finish school next year. right now, im trying to save up as much money as possible.

i dont get why, people think its so bad, if you have a subsequent ammount of money and personal experience then why not. after all its her life. do you think she wants to live it wishing she had done something but couldent because everyone descriminates. if it makes her happy then she should go for it. she hasnt had the best start, now she has the chance to change it for herself.

mariee, my best wishes are with you, your a very strong person, please just dont worry about what other people say, if its going to make you happy then go for it.

im guessing by your picture your now pregnant? good on you

feel free to talk to me about anything
